GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The following Bulb Application Tables list the lamp
title on the left side of the column and trade number
or part number on the right.
CAUTION: Do not use bulbs that have a higher
candle power than the bulb listed in the Bulb Appli-
cation Table. Damage to lamp can result.
Do not touch halogen bulbs with fingers or other
possibly oily surfaces. Bulb life will be reduced.
If a halogen bulb is contaminated with oil, clean
bulb with denatured alcohol or ammonia based sol-
vent.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
HEADLAMP CLEANING
This vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights
that are lighter and less susceptible to stone break-
age than glass headlights.
This plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore a different lens cleaning procedures must
be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses
and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry
cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap
solution followed by rinsing with water.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents,
steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
